Kubernetes for Developers (LFD259)

Kubernetes is a high-velocity open source orchestration tool to deploy, scale, and update containerized applications. This course will teach you how to containerize, host, deploy, and configure an application in a multi-node cluster.

This course, along with real-world experience and study, will provide the skills and knowledge also tested by the Linux Foundation’s Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) exam.

Who Is It For
This course is ideal for developers who are looking to gain skills in Kubernetes application development. Students should be familiar with the Linux command line, programming languages like Python, Node.js or Go, and have a basic understanding of cloud native application concepts and architectures.

The transition between explaining essential concepts, and leaving resources for more detail is great. Additionally, I enjoyed the labs session, as it helped as a refresher for already known concepts, and helped solidify the ones I was learning.

I really like the labs, I think they cement the content that is provided. Most of the time the certifications are just regurgitating the content in multiple-choice format. This forces you to think using the content you've learned, instead of just memorizing.
Jul 2024
The course shines in building a good theoretical background, and getting hands-on experience. I learned many things that are actually useful for day-to-day work, far more than expected.

Covered almost every item in the curriculum in great depth, with plenty of supporting content.
May 2024
It was very coherent. There was very little clarification required externally. It was also significantly less time consuming than other courses, which is a compliment to its conciseness.
May 2024
I really enjoyed this course because it covers both basic aspects for people who are new to Kubernetes, and more advanced topics necessary for daily operations. The comprehensive content ensures that learners at different levels can benefit and apply the knowledge effectively in real-world scenarios.
Mar 2024
Material is easy to follow and digest.

No joke: A) The videos, I felt motivated by "let's get started" at the end of each video. And B) the exercises, forcing you to actually put your hands on a K8s cluster.
Feb 2024
The course has good explanations with a lot of external references, which is great, and the labs are good hands-on practice.
Feb 2024
The hands-on labs were very practical and helpful. I'm glad that most of the time was spent actually spinning up and working with a k8s cluster hands-on.
Feb 2024
It takes me on the journey of Kubernetes from basic to advanced in the best way, so that knowledge is gained.
Feb 2024
The course is well structured, and provides content for someone to get started and become familiar with all the concepts. The lab exercises were great for hands-on experience.
Feb 2024
The content covered is precise, and I appreciated the appropriate links to external resources and documentation.
Feb 2024
Having worked with Kubernetes for 2 years now, more or less making it up as I go, this course provided reassurance, and covered almost all areas I thought were important, while filling in many blanks.
Jan 2024
The lab content was challenging in a helpful way, and didn't stray from the covered topics. Any other information required to complete the labs was easily sourced via the official Kubernetes documentation.
Sep 2023
The lab provides many details for understanding the concepts of k8s.
Sep 2023
What I liked most about the course was the material, the exercises, and the simulations.
Sep 2023
I liked how much of the Kubernetes components it covered. I also really liked the hands-on labs, they were clear, and easy to follow, and all the setup scripts worked without any troubleshooting needed.
Jul 2023
This course covered many topics in Kubernetes, and has improved my knowledge of Kubernetes.
Jun 2023
Hands-on lab exercises and domain review exercises are very valuable.
